I used plenty of serranos and anaheim chilis to kick up a notch hehe, dip them with my leftovers green onion pancakes, and its absolutely delicious !! Will definitely try these red lentils u reco on my next dhal excursion thanks

Thanks for the information. I am sure i can now make them properly.

I just have another question about another dal.

How do you make the Palak dal?
I had it recently at a restaurant and i loved it.

Orshoe.

Hi Orshoe! You’re most welcome. If you go to my Recipe List, under the “Soups and Salads” section, you’ll find a recipe for Palak Dal. Let me know how it goes! 😮

Hi Orshoe, thanks for dropping in. If you notice both the recipes, their methods of preparation differ slightly. In Dal Tadka, you first cook the dal by boiling it in water with tomatoes and spices. The takda (tempering) is added on top of the cooked dal to intensify and add in more flavour. However, for Dal Fry, plain boiled dal is add to a flavourbase made of onions, tomatoes and spices and cooked through. Even though they may seem sismilar, both these dishes differ in taste due to the difference in their preparation.

I’ll have to look for it and left it out this time, since I didn’t have it. Also, I didn’t have any red lentils on hand and used the green lentils instead. Despite that my meal tasted GREAT! I’ll probably blog about it tomorrow. THANKS, Meena.

Paz (Very satisfied and happy!)

Paz: Definitely try it out Paz, wonderful and easy for this cold season.

Asafoetida is a kind of spice powder readily available at the local Indian grocery store. It is called as “Hing” in hindi and is often used in the tempering of Dal. You can just omit it if you don’t have it, it won’t affect the recipe much.
